Those kind of people do still exist. And they are the ones who shun the govt. "assistance" when they become adults and see the bigger picture.
Those kind of people have no desire to live in a prison of their own creation and have the desire to become something in life. You can't do that when you are dependent on govt. assistance.

Agreed. I remember my grandmother always talked down about those who accept government assistance and would not even rent to them. If she found out someone was on government handouts, especially a male (it was called general assistance at the time) she would go off about them being on the government tit, lazy, etc.. I remember my mother working double shifts around Christmas time so that we could have pretty much everything we wanted (within reason) @ the holidays.
In short, you make a valid point about your parents setting a good example.
